Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

This course introduces students to a variety of experiences that explore a range of fine art media, processes and techniques using both traditional and new media. These are complemented by the study of relevant images and artifacts from European and nonEuropean examples. Students’ responses will be shown through practical and critical activities that demonstrate their understanding of different styles, genres and traditions. Drawing is an integral part of the course and students use sketchbooks to underpin their work. The course includes workshops and visits to galleries and museums. A life class is held once a week after school and all students attend.
